With Jon WilnerSun, 02 Aug 2015 18:12:00 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.3By: MmmmKayhttp://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/2013/05/15/pac-12-football-the-2013-non-conference-schedule-and-how-it-compares-to-the-sec-b1g-etc/comment-page-1/#comment-157942
Tue, 28 May 2013 16:39:58 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157942The big question here is which SEC team Wilner will rank in the top 10 in week 8 for being 7-0 after beating 4 cupcakes and 3 bottom-feeder SEC teams? There are always a few.

See Mississippi State, 2012 who Jon had at #11 after playing absolutely nobody:

Lets face it Jon would rate all 14 SEC teams in the top 10 if he could, and then justify their losses because its just good SEC teams beating good SEC teams. Angling for that ESPN job no doubt.

Tue, 21 May 2013 03:41:31 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157842You say you calculate “the Pac-12, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC … the five leagues that will have automatic slots in the new playoff system.” so where is the calculations for the ACC. Maybe I missed them but to me it seems the ACC plays as tough or tougher OOC schedule than any league primarily based on the number of regular season matchups against the SEC. I realize Clemson, FSU, GT are all rivals of SEC schools but still that counts as OOC games. I would like to see your calculations for the ACC. I think they would be pretty high up on OOC SoS.

Mon, 20 May 2013 16:55:34 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157825The SEC is overrated? Just the mention that the South Eastern Conference is puffed up is ridiculous. The bizarre thing, people are quick to forget that the SEC with their 7 national titles in a row also consistently dominates in how the SEC stacks up in putting guys in the NFL versus other BCS conferences. SEC is just in a league of its own, and that is nothing to be ashamed of.

Look, I’m a diehard lifelong Oregon guy. I was raised in Autzen stadium, as a pre-teen running around when the place barely saw 40,000 fans each game. My experience however through the years of being in places like Oxford, Knoxville, or Tusculoosa on game days just reaffirms my belief that SEC football is far and above the king of college football. It’s a culture in the south that can’t be rivaled on the west coast…it’s not even close. Eugene? Maybe. I only say that because you have a small market where college football rules 365 but it lacks the generations of tradition, but it’s approaching SEC levels (however you want to quantify that). But come on, I’ve been to Berkley or Palo Alto on a Friday night before a game, and the actual game day atmosphere.. *yawn*.

The SEC has the best players. They’ve won the biggest games on the brightest stages. This will not change until someone de-thrones them. In 2013? Well, maybe Ohio St, Stanford, or Oregon can get a shot.

Sun, 19 May 2013 20:56:21 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157822and the one thing i’d love to see during football season is more coaches interviews during the season. pregame, post-game, maybe monday mornings… that kind of thing. not coaches ‘shows’, just little 3-4 minute interviews with the coaches.

this is an elite baseball league. the national network should be showing a game every tuesday, every friday and triple-headers every Saturday & Sunday through Apr & May.

thank you.

Sun, 19 May 2013 05:04:49 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157819i dont really give a flock if it was nunes or one of you mamma’s boys playing QB for stanford @ south bend, if you watched bama conquer that catholic *** like it was revenge for the crusades, you should realise we’re nowhere near their league by losing to that team.

and AU did dominate oregon, the yucks were getting pushed like they were scared.

allburn had glaring weaknesses on defense, specifically an atrocious secondary, that o-verated-gon couldnt figure out how to exploit.

Even within the Pac there is a divide. Overall the conference is about even with the SEC in the BCS era but the state of California is 9-1 against the them.

Alabama is #1 until someone beats them but watching their game against A&M I’m pretty convinced Oregon could have taken them, or at least it would have been interesting (and I’ve been very hard on the Ducks for years so I’m no bandwagon jumper fake fan of their either). What A&M’s offense did to their defense Oregon does better than A&M. If Helfrich isn’t awful and Oregon gets Bama this year I’d take UO straight up to win that game.

Fri, 17 May 2013 23:15:25 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=31418#comment-157809Alabama is still the number one team in my book right now. Oregon or Stanford could give them a run (esp. if Chip Kelly hadn’t left – Helfrich is an unknown), but I wouldn’t count on them making it there – Ohio St will probably ride a light schedule there (depending on what Dykes can do against them in Berkeley – Cal should have beaten the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe last year).
